: From Wiki "The pistol is a magazine fed, self-loading, hammer firing type which was designed with a trigger "mode" switch installed on the left-hand side of the slide (actually only a flush inlaid disk with a bisecting groove), toggling between double-action/single-action(DA/SA) pistol mode, and the double-action-only (DAO) or "revolver" mode -- though, of course, other than the similarity of the trigger mode, the BDM has no resemblance to revolvers. This mode switch is what gives the handgun its name, with BDM standing for "Browning Dual Mode" or "Browning Double Mode". --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:29, 7 December 2009 (UTC) | : From Wiki "The pistol is a magazine fed, self-loading, hammer firing type which was designed with a trigger "mode" switch installed on the left-hand side of the slide (actually only a flush inlaid disk with a bisecting groove), toggling between double-action/single-action(DA/SA) pistol mode, and the double-action-only (DAO) or "revolver" mode -- though, of course, other than the similarity of the trigger mode, the BDM has no resemblance to revolvers.

Browning BDM
I'm pretty sure that the Ambassador from Casino Royale has a Hi Power. Anybody else? '
I agree, it was a Hi Power, not the BDM--Phillb36 02:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Revolver style
By "Revolver style Single/Double Action" does it mean that if the hammer were manually cocked back while the gun was set to double action only the weapon would fire single action (like a revolver) or is it mearly another name for double action only? -Anonymous
